Synopsis:Odysseus seeks out the banished Philoctetes in hopes of gaining a strategic advantage for the Greeks in their prolonged siege of Troy, enlisting the son of Achilles in an elaborate deception to steal a weapon of immense power. But in the conflict between private and public morality, do the ends justify the means? This ancient text by the greatest of Greek dramatists finds new urgency in this adaptation by Irish poet and Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney.
